Basil is rich in anti-inflammatory compounds, while dill helps with indigestion and adds a subtle earthiness to the flavor. Lemon juice not only sharpens the taste but also boosts digestive enzymes, supporting smoother breakdown of food. Combined with yogurt, which contains probiotics, this dressing turns your salad into a gut-friendly powerhouse.

Notes

Here are some special tips/notes: 
Broccoli prep: For a crunchier bite, keep the broccoli raw. If you prefer a softer texture, blanch the florets in hot water for 1–2 minutes and then cool them in ice water before using.
Cheese swap: Fresh mozzarella adds creaminess, but you can replace it with feta for tang or skip cheese entirely for a dairy-free version.
Nut variations: Roasted cashews bring richness, but almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds work beautifully for different textures.
Dressing consistency: If you like a thinner dressing, add 1–2 tablespoons of water or extra lemon juice before blending.
Make ahead: You can prep the dressing a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Toss the salad just before serving to keep the veggies crisp.
Storage tip: Once dressed, the salad keeps well for up to 24 hours in the fridge. For best freshness, store salad and dressing separately if planning to eat later.
Flavor boost: A pinch of chili flakes or ground cumin in the dressing can give a subtle kick.
Vegan option: Replace Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut yogurt and skip mozzarella for a completely plant-based version.
